Its an archive. Its a virtual museum. Its a nostalgia trip. Its somewhere where people can look wistfully at a plastic box with less processing power than a TV remote and say things like I learned to program on one of those, they were brilliant. Basically, its somewhere where sad people like me can sit and remember the good old days of home computing. Take a look at a modern home computer. Most likely its a dull, beige box with multiple gigabytes of disc space, multiple megabytes of memory and more processing power than it knows what to do with. Now look back a few years. Hard drives were unheard of and floppy discs were rare, 128K of memory was huge. A modern home computer has over 200 times as much memory just looking after the graphics system as my first computer a Dragon 32 had main memory.
